Without subscription, Sync Module 2 and USB storage is needed for motion detection video recording and local storage backup. No live recording without paying the subscription fee, also no video sharing.
Sync Module 2 is another $34.99 for up to 10 cameras, if purchased separately. This bundle includes the Sync 2.

"Includes: 3 Outdoor Camera System (Sync Module 2 included in box), 1 Outdoor Add-on Camera, 1 Mini Indoor Plug-in Camera, Mount Kits, 1 Yard Sign"
Seems like a decent deal.

but then the hub stopped connecting and currently no cameras are actually working.
it's possible I could fix things by uninstalling and reinstalling, but I haven't made time to do that, yet.
and it annoys me that I cannot watch blink cameras as I would a security camera, where wyze can do that.
on the plus side, their notifications and recordings to the cloud are much more frequent than wyze competitors (not referring to paid wyze service, just the free version which only records once every 5 minutes).
The ONLY thing I would use these for is to check on things like "is it cloudy outside" "is the pool water level good" - things that you can check in on and get your answer. MAYBE pointing at a door from the inside in a vacation house, just to make sure no one comes into the house..
Night time they are horrendous for outside from a window viewing... they will alert on ANY motion, the APP IS PURE TRASH...
I was given 3 of these from amazon to suffice for them shutting down the cloud cam service. They are sitting in a box and I now have multiple wyze cameras that are light years ahead of the blink system. The app is better, making RULES in the wyze app allow you freedom to control things I've never seen in other systems...
Go grab some wyze v3 cams.. I have no idea what to do with these blink trash cams.

I may have to reach out to Costco for some sort of partial refund.
